Here's a breakdown of Fiberglass Fabric, Wool, and Rolls, along with their uses:
1. Fiberglass Fabric
Woven from fiberglass yarn, this fabric is strong, lightweight, and resistant to heat, chemicals, and moisture.
Types:
Plain weave
Twill weave
Satin weave
Unidirectional and multi-axial
Uses:
Composite reinforcement (boats, automotive parts, tanks)
Thermal insulation blankets
Fireproof curtains and welding blankets
Printed circuit boards (PCBs)
Aerospace and marine applications
2. Fiberglass Wool
Also called glass wool, it's made by melting glass and spinning it into fine fibers, forming a wool-like material. It's soft, fluffy, and has excellent thermal and acoustic properties.
Uses:
Thermal insulation in buildings, ovens, pipelines
Soundproofing in walls, ceilings, and studios
HVAC duct insulation
Fire-retardant filling in industrial and home applian
3. Fiberglass Roll
Usually refers to rolls of fiberglass fabric or wool for easier handling and installation. Available in various thicknesses and coatings (foil-faced, mesh-backed, etc.).
Uses:
Wall and roof insulation
Pipe wrapping for heat and corrosion protection
Cladding in HVAC systems
Lay-up process in composites manufacturing
